I've always found the "master race" moniker on Reddit subs really offputting/distrubing. Why repeat that here? It could just as easily be called "PC Enthusiast" or something totally normal.

I believe the term originated via the video maker Yatzhee's "Zero Punctuation" video series (where the header image comes from), which was similarly tongue-in-cheek.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it pre-dated /r/gaming but those sentiments were probably shared in 4chan, so both may be pre-dated.
